Exciting news out of Cannes as we can exclusively reveal that TriCoast Worldwide and their horror division, DarkCoast, has landed world distribution rights for Charlie Comparetto’s directorial debut Ghost in the Graveyard. The film will screen at Cannes at Palais 1 on Monday, May 20th at 16:00 for buyers and programmers.
A children’s game, “Ghost in the Graveyard” is a nighttime take on Hide and Seek that’s combined with frantic chasing to find the hidden player, known as “the ghost”. Whoever finds the ghost and yells “Ghost in the graveyard!” win the game, unless the ghost tags another person who then becomes the new ghost of the game.
“Set in the small and eerie town of Mt. Moriah, Ghost in the Graveyard follows the ghost of a local girl, Martha, who tragically died during the childhood game, Ghost in the Graveyard. Vengeful and unforgiving, Martha returns to haunt the now teenagers who witnessed her murder. The teen longtime blamed for the incident, Sally Sullivan, takes it upon herself to solve the ghost story and put Martha to rest in peace for good. As the mystery of Martha’s return unravels, deep secrets are revealed that will have consequences for everyone involved.“
Written and directed by Charlie Comparetto, Ghost in the Graveyard stars Jake Busey, Shiloh Verrico, Kelli Berglund, Royce Johnson, Nikki Blonsky, Maria Olsen, Olivia Larsen, Zebedee Row, and Jason James Richter.
